No surprise that this book is still excellent on the re-read. Knowing the story behind R.A.B. it has been fun to see the references to this character in this book and earlier. That ending though, yeah, it's a good one.

I'm still bothered by the title of the book and how little impact it had on the story.

"No, I'm the Half-Blood Prince" and that's it.

It's a small annoyance but it always felt a little half baked.
